Re: Alex Smith’s Amazing Comeback(?)
According to OTC, who are generally very good, if we cut him post June 1st we would not take any further hit to this years cap and would save an extra $19m next year, doesn't sound quite right but as I said OTC is a generally very accurate site, any thoughts Schneed10?

Re: Alex Smith’s Amazing Comeback(?)
I can just imagine Ron Rivera: "hey CRIPPLE, shit or get off the pot"
Also this nonsense about Bruce Allen overpaying him is stupid AF. He got paid the going market rate for a starting NFL qb, and then almost died from a freak injury. Even if he got overpaid (which he didn't) he's still earned that money.

I think he had no incentive to do so, and i'm not even sure if he was ever asked by the team to consider such a thing. Alex was/is not the first and won't be the last to get paid major money while being sidelined with a career-threatening injury.

Re: Alex Smith’s Amazing Comeback(?)
So what is the most likely thing to happen with Alex Smith contract? Alex is never playing again first off.
I would think post June 1st, Alex Smith would be ruled out for season and then would retire do to injury. Then we would apply the approximately 10 million insurance policy on the 21 million dead cap hit for this year? And I think next year (2021) we have another 10 Million in dead cap hit again...And that’s it I believe Something like this ?

Re: Alex Smith’s Amazing Comeback(?)
I doubt he wants to coach. He is probably financially set and does not want the insecurity of a coach....moving around with a young family.

Re: Alex Smith’s Amazing Comeback(?)
Just watched the show, I can’t imagine what Alex and family went through. There is no way he’s playing again, nor will his wife will ever let him play again. After they cut all the infected muscle, his leg was so fucked up and deformed, the movement on his leg so limited. Dan has done what any moral, conscious man should do, pay him every penny and don’t even question it. Bravo Alex, family and Danny. Please retire next year and find him a coaching job.

Re: Alex Smith’s Amazing Comeback(?)
Actually struck me as having the prime mentality to coach, and plenty of guys coach in the NFL with young families. But I also suspect he could go front office too. Very smart highly motivated guy.

Everything about this guy screams football junky. This crazy bastard still wants to play!! I don't believe for a second, that he is going through all of this just for the money (it doesn't hurt, but he already has a shit ton of money). He is not just fading off into the sunset. He will be involved with football, in some capacity or another, for the rest of his life (working age life for sure) imo. And young family life is way easier when that family can afford to have a parent stay at home for their full time job. Even if you have to move, that makes the transition way way easier.

Re: Alex Smith’s Amazing Comeback(?)
I was pumped when we got Smith. He was a winner, even we were winning with him, and everything since his injury proves he's a winner 10 fold.
I hope he stays with the franchise is some capacity for a long time. Wanna talk about building a culture!!! Alex offers everything you want from someone you work with. There is just no way he should play again though. Way easier for me to say, because it's not my life and career, but it just seems like a bad idea imo. And I don't give a fuck about how much he's getting paid still, did you see his fucking leg?? This was out of everyone's control. This is an injury you see every 20 years or so. You can't plan for it and you sure as hell shouldn't hold it against the player.
